A Splendid Sculpture Made Of Living Breathing Trees



Well a building doesn’t have to be a too dry and dead thing. The Italian artist “Giuliano Mauri’s” epic Cattedrale Vegetale (or Tree Cathedral) is the textbook example of architecture that, in its place of competing with or complementing nature, is fairly literally a part of it. The late artist’s two groves of trees are destined to grow into a pair of superb basilicas.

The framework columns perceived in these photographs will ultimately rot away and decay, to be replaced by the hornbeam trees planted in the center of each frame. As these grow, their canopies will mesh together to form the vaulted ceiling of a Gothic cathedral.

Mauri, who was passed away in 2009, actually laid the groundwork for his first visionary cathedral in Valsugana, Italy in 2002. The framework of the cathedral at the foot of Mount Arera in the northern Italian region of Lombardy was well completed in 2010.  Source: Charismatic Planet

The Stray Cat Accidentally Turned Itself Green

This is not a Photoshop that’s a real-life green cat that has been stalking the streets of Varna, Bulgaria. The residents stumped by its unusual color were led on a hunt to find out the secret of its unnatural coloration. At first, concerned people thought the stray had been the target of a mischievous prank.

But the truth turned out to be a bit less sinister, however the cat had been sleeping on a bag of powdered green paint at a local garage, and the cat seems not to mind the color, and neither does her friend. The first feeling was that someone had played a cruel joke on the cat by painting it green. Even residents had even created a Facebook group to coordinate their search for the culprits.

The truth, however, was somewhat less reprehensible it was discovered that the cat had taken a liking to sleeping in a pile of powdered green paint at a local garage. Thus far, efforts to capture the cat and clean it or review it for health issues have been ineffective. Though, neither the cat nor its friends seem very bothered by its strange coat!

Flowers Turns Beautifully into “Skeleton Flowers” in Rain

The Diphylleia grayi is an astonishing flower with white petals that turn gorgeously transparent upon contact with water. During light rain showers, the elusive blooms transform into blossoms as clear as glass, fitting its common moniker "skeleton flower." However the plant can be found growing on moist, wooded mountainsides in the colder regions of Japan and China come late spring. The stunning Diphylleia grayi is known by its large, specifically umbrella-like leaves topped with small clusters of pearly white blossoms that undergo an enchanted transformation in the rain.

Incredible Lava Lake on Top of Mount Nyiragongo, Congo



You would be thinking that the last place on earth where people would want to inhabit to the bottom of a steep volcano hosting the world's largest fluid lava lake. Mount Nyiragongo Virunga National Park Democratic Republic of the Congo is an active volcano and very famous for housing the biggest lava lake in the world. The volcano’s slopes are steep and lava is very fluid, thus enabling it to flow in high velocity when it erupts.

In spite of the continuous threat of catastrophic fiery death, the area at the foot of Mount Nyiragongo is dotted with greatly populated bustling villages. Well, the one such disaster happened in 1977, when the walls of the crater burst open and the lake of molten rock drained in less than an hour, pouring itself down into the villages at a frightening speed of up to 60 mph. Different your average lava flow, the exclusive presence of an alkali-rich volcanic rock, melilite nephelinite, creates a extremely fluid consistency, allowing it to move at speeds that can with no trouble overcome anything in its path. The official death toll was 70, but numerous report states much higher numbers, some guessing the losses at several thousand.

The dreadful eruption of 1977 took place when the lake was at its maximum depth ever recorded, 10,700 ft., but the extent of its volume varies depending on activity. Because no one exactly knows how long the volcano has been active, but history tells us since 1882 it's been very busy, erupting more than 34 times, sporadically bubbling and spewing fire for years before settling down. It is located inside Virunga National Park about 20 km. North of Goma, Mount Nyiragongo is now still active, its last deadly eruption taking 147 lives in 2002. Its activity is, for now, being confined to the crater, where the lake of lava is slowly rising once more.
